We are excited to announce the opening of registration for the Summer Reading Program 2026! Registration begins on May 25 and closes on June 5, with a $5.00 fee. Register early to secure your child’s spot.

Friends of the Pohnpei Public Library will be welcoming:
40 students entering K4 to 2nd Grade
40 students entering 3rd to 5th Grade
20 students entering 6th to 8th Grade

50 students with diverse abilities, as part of our inclusive program

This year, we are honored to welcome a special volunteer, Mr. David Many, Children’s Inclusive Librarian Mentor from Australian Volunteers International (AVI). As part of Library mission, we are opening our doors to students with unique strengths and diverse abilities. His expertise in inclusive library practices will help ensure that children with special needs feel supported, engaged, and empowered to participate fully. Their involvement will enrich the program and reflect our commitment to creating an inclusive space where every learner can discover, grow, and celebrate stories together.

We look forward to celebrating stories, learning, and community together

“A New Day Brings New Books!”

Today, Pohnpei Public Library was excited to receive a wonderful donation of new books from Vincent Mut-Tracy. These new titles will help enrich our collection and open more doors to imagination, learning, and discovery for readers of all ages.

We sincerely thank Mr. Mut-Tracy for his generous contribution and support of literacy in our community. Every donated book helps inspire a love of reading and brings knowledge closer to the people of Pohnpei.

 

     

On May 6, 2026, we were honored to welcome a special visit to the library from Mr. Charlie Kniseley, Education Specialist with the U.S. Department of Education, along with associates from the U.S. Embassy. Their visit brought encouragement, warm conversations, and support for the work we continue to do for our community. 

It is worth noting that Mr. David Knisely, a follower of our Library’s Facebook page, first came to know about the Pohnpei Public Library through our online presence. His engagement with our page reflects the importance of social media in connecting friends of the library near and far, and in strengthening awareness of our programs and milestones. 

As part of their visit, the library staff received a thoughtful gift package, as a symbol of friendship and appreciation. The gift included children’s reading materials and educational items that will help inspire learning and joy among our young readers. 

We sincerely thank Mr. Kniseley and the associates from the U.S. Embassy for taking the time to visit our library and for their generous support. Visits like these strengthen partnerships and remind us of the importance of working together to promote education, literacy, and community growth. We look forward to continuing these meaningful connections and creating more opportunities that benefit our library and the people we serve
